INTRODUCTION 1.1 This Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared by the Castor and Ailsworth Neighbourhood Plan Working Group over the course of 2015 to 2017, informed by on-going consultation and dialogue with local residents and stakeholders. The Neighbourhood Plan Working Group came together early in 2015, following a very well-attended public meeting, to carry out this work on behalf of the accountable bodies, Ailsworth and Castor Parish Councils. Although each Parish Council is responsible for its own Neighbourhood Plan, each council agreed to share a common approach so that the two Plans are complementary to and supportive of each other. 1.2 The working group is made up of: Steering Committee: Dai Rowlands (Chair), Neil Boyce (CPC), Steve Davies, Chas Foster, Mandy Foster, John Hodder, Joan Pickett (APC), Fiona Rowlands (CPC) and David Shaw (CPC). 1 Content Group: Antonia Pounsett (Chair), Brian Chillcott, Martin Chillcott, Helen Daly, Malcolm Groves, Mike Horne, Ed Humphries, John Judge (APC), Andrew Nash, Angela Scott, Elaine Wakerley and Claire Winfrey. Extended Content Group: Tom Chillcott, Stewart Clark, Linda Cooke, Megan Ellershaw (APC), Michael Hinton, Peter Huckle, Sue Magill, Jon Phillips, Gareth Rowswell, Caroline Sharpin, Bill Sansom, Mike Thomas and Duncan Vessey. 1.3. The Working Group has progressed through a number of stages of work to get the draft Neighbourhood Plan to this point: Background research on the social, economic and environmental conditions in the parish. Public consultation with the community through two professionally analysed questionnaires to understand its aims, aspirations and concerns. Individual consultation with key stakeholders. 1.4 The Castor Neighbourhood Plan provides a vision for the future of the parish, up to 2036, continuing to work in close partnership with the adjoining parish of Ailsworth. Fundamentally, the Plan also provides a number of policies that future development must take into account, and which, together, will help to ensure that the vision is achieved. 1.5 This Neighbourhood Plan provides guidance that complements existing local, national and strategic planning policy. The policies in this Plan are intended to provide additional detail and subtlety that reflect the special characteristics of the parish that cannot reasonably be addressed by higher-level guidance. 1.6 The Plan has been made possible by new powers contained within the Localism Act (2011) which seek to decentralise policy making and increase the extent to which local neighbourhoods and communities can determine their own future. The Castor Neighbourhood Plan has been strongly influenced by the views of the community expressed at a series of consultation events and detailed research undertaken by the Neighbourhood Plan Working Group. 1.7 However, all Plans must be in line with higher level planning policy, the National Planning Policy Framework and the Peterborough Local Plan. The overall requirement is that a Neighbourhood Plan has a presumption in favour of sustainable development. 2 1.8 A new Peterborough Local Plan is being prepared by Peterborough City Council with the Further Draft Consultation on the Local Plan overlapping with the detailed preceding consultation, taking place over some eighteen months, and the subsequent Regulation 14 ‘Pre-Submission’ Consultation on this neighbourhood plan. At the point of submission, the emerging Local Plan was only at an early draft stage, but it included a large housing allocation of 2500 dwellings on the north side of the A47, a large part of which was in Castor Parish. The Parish Council is aware that a large number of objections have been made by a wide range of individuals and organisations, including the council itself, against this allocation in Peterborough’s Draft Plan. The Parish Council will continue to communicate with the City Council to ensure the best outcomes possible for the parish in the Local Plan. Whilst this Neighbourhood Plan cannot control what development may be included in the Local Plan, it proposes positive policies to protect wildlife, protect heritage assets, and support development which both sustains and enhances the character of the existing village. The proposed policies in this Neighbourhood Plan are still based on the strategic objectives of the existing adopted Core Strategy and are also consistent with the emerging Local Plan. 1.9 Finally, the reference documents and the evidence bank to support this plan can be found on this website at https://castor-pc.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Interim-link-page.pdf

  • Chapter 16 Marholm Village and Buildings
    Chapter 16 Marholm Village and Buildings History of the Village Marholm village lies approximately four miles West of Peterborough and one mile from the seat of the Fitzwilliam family at Milton Hall. The parish covers some fourteen hundred acres, with the village positioned roughly in the centre. Today it remains a peaceful, largely agricultural community of some two hundred people. Although during the past fifty years the domination of agriculture has diminished, the village retains a rural feel, and in many ways is unchanged from its earlier history, despite the modern development, and proximity to a burgeoning city. To a large extent, this tranquillity has been preserved by the protection derived from Milton Estate, which has retained ownership of much of the property in the village. In addition, the Estate has curtailed further encroachment from the city beyond Mucklands Wood to the East, which delineates the border of Milton’s sales, in the 1960s, of land to the Peterborough Development Corporation for the expansion of the city. The name of the village most probably derives from ‘mere’, meaning pool, and ‘ham’, or settlement, and may refer to the pools by the Manor House. During the Middle Ages, the name was alternatively Marham, Marreham, Marrenham, Mareham, Morham and Marhome. By the 18th century it was commonly referred to as Marham and later known by the present spelling, Marholm [1]. Early History The early history of the village is obscure, with few known archaeological sites. Not surprisingly, however, in view of its proximity to the flourishing Roman settlement in Castor, there is some evidence of their presence in the area now embraced by Marholm.

There is tremendous synergy between the Green Investment Bank and Peterborough, with both adopting innovative and ground-breaking approaches to finance and the environment. Peterborough is proud to be the UK’s Environment Capital and home to the country’s largest cluster of environmental businesses. Our financial companies are breaking new ground in terms of growth and pioneering products, and our manufacturing sector is out-performing many of our competitor cities. Peterborough is ideally located and supported by key infrastructure ensuring that any benefits and opportunities deriving from the arrival of the Green Investment Bank are accrued to a much wider geography – either through the formal Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Local Enterprise Partnership, or through the excellent relationships the city has built with other local partners.
